Aloha: You will hear ʻā pele (rough lava) and pāhoehoe (smooth). This is (ay pay-lay and pay-hoay-hoay). Most of the time, we just say ʻā (like the letter A).

What is lava with a wrinkled surface that forms when mafic lava hardens?
The wrinkled lava, often described as having a "ropey" appearance, is known as pahoe-hoe. It is very common in active Hawaiian volcanoes.
What does the Hawaiian term AA mean?
It means "lava" or sharp jagged lava
What is the difference between pahoehoe and lava?
Pahoehoe is faster moving lava and AA is slower moving lava. Both types are found in basaltic type eruptions. They have different appearances. Pahoehoe is smooth and ropey where as AA is chunky and rough.(much like top of trees) Often a pahoehoe flow can change to an AA flow depending upon the type of slope it encounters. The steeper the slope the more likely AA lava will be present. Aa has more viscosity than Pahoehoe.
What is the name of the volcano that is built by thick layer of lava?
A shield volcano. Generally they have runny lava that forms lots of thick layers. The Hawaiian island volcanos are good examples.
What are Hawaiian Lava Beds made out of?
magma from hot spots in the crust

What are two types of hawaiian lava?
ʻAʻā lava and Pāhoehoe are the two types of Hawaiian lava.
How is hawaiian lava different from composite cone lava?
Compared with the lava in composite volcanoes, hawaiian lava has a slow silica content, is runny, and erupts at a higher temperature.
Is pahoehoe fast moving hot lava?
No. Pahoehoe is lava that forms a smooth, ropey surface. It may flow relatively quickly at times, but often flows very slowly.
What is a type of lava?
In terms of composition, basaltic lava is the most common type. When it flows it can be divided into two varieties: Pahoehoe which has a smooth, ropey texture, and a'a, which has a borken, jagged surface.
What is aah?
It could be a scream, singing, type of Hawaiian lava, or a name. :-0 :-o ;-) :-P

What kind of eruption is a Lava fountain?
Lava fountains can be associated with Strombolian and occasionally Hawaiian eruptions.
